Are You Going to Buy an iPad Mini? (Poll)

This question will be on plenty of consumer minds when the iPad mini officially launches on Nov. 2. It’s basically everything we expected (thanks leaks!), with the Lightning connector, 7.9-inch display and iPad 2 guts running the show. In comparison to the $500 price of the normal sized iPad, $329 for the base iPad mini is a great entry point. But when you consider the Kindle Fire HD 7 and Nexus 7 are both $200, a pretty substantial disparity arises. Apple’s premium is still in tact, and they’ll likely sell a ton of units despite cheaper options being available. But will it ultimately prove to be as successful as its larger brother?
